Saint Francis 800 Exhibition

About this event

"Lord, make me an instrument of your peace."

Few Christians have captured the imagination quite like St. Francis of Assisi. Remembered for his joyful simplicity, deep compassion, love for the poor, and reverence for all creation, Francis lived with an uncommon attentiveness to the presence of God in the ordinary world. His life continues to invite us toward humility, peace, generosity, wonder, and kinship with both our neighbors and the natural world.

This November, Creo Arts invites you to explore the life, legacy, and spiritual vision of St. Francis through the arts. Whether inspired by his care for creation, his radical hospitality, his pursuit of peace, or the beauty of a life fully surrendered to God, we welcome works that engage with the enduring themes of his witness. Through painting, sculpture, poetry, photography, music, and more, this exhibition celebrates a life that continues to inspire artists and believers across generations.

This exhibition will coincide with the premiere of Creo’s newest film exploring the life of St. Francis, directed by David Whitaker. Learn more about the film premiere here . Together, the film and exhibition offer an opportunity to encounter Francis’ story through both cinema and the visual arts, reflecting on the enduring questions, practices, and convictions that shaped his remarkable life.

The St. Francis 800 Exhibition will be on view at the Creo Arts Gallery throughout November and December.
